    Distance is 50 km

    Displacement is 10 km

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Distance toward south, x = 25 km

    Distance towards west, y = 10 km

    Distance towards north, z = 15 km

    (a) Total distance, D = ?

    Total distance, D = x + y + z

    D = 25 + 10 + 15

    D = 50km

    (b) Displacement, d = ?

    Displacement = final position - initial position

    = 10 - 0 km

    = 10km
